They have lost Ryan Wintle to Cardiff, but that was because he was out of contractCafc43v3r said:
Intresting that Crewe haven't sold anyone yet.........ElliotCAFC said:Scoham said:Let's play a game to pass the time - which other 'meltdown' players are out there who we could still sign? And which tier would you put them in? A few examples based on signings so far:
God tier - guarantees automatic promotion
Scott Fraser
Quality tier - guarentees top 6
Joe Pigott
Charlie Wyke
Owen Dale
Charlie Kirk
Joel Randall
Good tier - proof of serious investment
Jordan Cousins
Stephen Humphrys
All the other Ipswich and Wigan signings, too many to name1 -
There is a low ball offer on the table from Wycombe, far from the £1 million the Alex want 🤔🤔🤔Rudders22 said:
and they had a couple of good players there as wellCafc43v3r said:

@RonnieMoore can give us that.bobmunro said:Where's Golfie when you need him? - we need a bit of positivity.1 -
Ipswich P46 W46 D0 L0 Pts 138
Wigan P46 W44 D0 L2 Pts 132
….is how I think the top 2 will finish next season.
I also believe it will be a Wigan v Ipswich FA Cup final.33 -

Adkins said after the Welling game we’ll sign more players, why say that if it’s not true?golfaddick said:
Without any evidence to the contrary then I go by what I've seen & heard.Scoham said:
Because NA mentioned the academy so it means we’ll get a few loans at most then fill the remaining gaps in the squad with youth players.AndyG said:I want to know how all these experts know we arnt going to piss the league before a ball has been kicked ?
They’ve decided our lack of activity recently is proof that this is the strategy.2 -
I agree, no player is that good, but I based it on the meltdowns I’ve seen on here and social media, not my own opinion.stoneroses19 said:Fraser is a very good signing, but don’t agree he should be classed as a “guarantees automatic promotion” player.2 -
I've heard he's a great striker of the ball... Uses a lot of forceMendonca In Asdas said:

Cawley responding to someone asking if any deals are close. Pretty much confirms that he is getting much less info from the club than he used to.16 -

I'm been at the hospital all morning as my youngest has just been diagnosed with type 1 diabetes.bobmunro said:Where's Golfie when you need him? - we need a bit of positivity.
I've posted a few comments earlier but will be quieter than usual due to hospital visits as the lad had been kept in for a few days.
Suffice to say I think a lot of people thought that TS was going to be spending a bit of money seeing as HE said last year that his aim was promotion by the end of the 2021/22 season at the very least - and in his view we had enough last season for at least top 6. Then when that didnt happen he said that we would "blow through this league" this season......and then NA said ON LIVE TV that the Hull celebrations would be us next year.
You can only go by what people say at the time. Currently imo actions dont marry up with words. No problem, it's Sandgaard's club & his money. If he now thinks that 3 or 4 of the U23's can step up then that's his call. I have my season ticket will be going regardless. Just dont expect me to wet my pants thinking that we will do anything different to last season. Currently we are without a main goalscorer (Stockley is not a 20 goal a season striker......and as most of his goals will be with his head we need decent wingers/ crossing to supply him) and also at least another wide man. Plus a midfield general. Claydon & Morgan could fill those roles but I would prefer someone with more experience.
If you are happy with where we are at the moment then that's fine. I'm not. You might be right.....or I might be. All I would say thay its better to be ahead of the game than behind it.

I think we'll sign some more players, definitely. They will mostly be loans & 1 or 2 may be good, but history has shown than 2 or 3 will be duds. I don't see us splashing out & spending much money by prising away a top talent.Scoham said:

I agree I don’t see us spending big money, but I think we could see a few come in towards the end of the window if they become available for a reasonable price, a bit like we saw with DJ.golfaddick said:

Am I happy with the situation? No. Am I calling out TS as a bullshitting, liar? No again.
We need to consider the following:
1. A player needs to want to come to Charlton.
2. Unlike Wigan and Ipswich, we may not want to pay over-inflated transfer fees and wages.
3. We have no idea what type of players Adkins wants and whether or not any of the players signed by our competitors fit in with his plans. We all think we know a lot but Adkins, Roddy and Gallen have all forgotten more than we know.
Some seem to be writing off the season before a ball has been kicked in anger.13 -
All the best to both you and your Son Golfie!!golfaddick said:

Fraser looked good at the Valley last season as we gave him the freedom of the pitch, even a poor player would look good in those circumstances.0

Define obscene. We are still net sellers since TS’ arrival here.Rossman92 said:
Aye boss. Going from the brink of extinction last year to splashing an obscene amount of cash the next year is not sustainable and was never going to happenAFKABartram said:
Because it looks like they are budgeting massively over their income.Valley11 said:Yep. It’s concerning now. How is it that Ipswich and Wigan are able to secure top targets and we aren’t? And we need a fair few players.
We can’t have it both ways imo. We can’t bang the drum on how important stability and sustainability is, then kick off when clubs around us pay over the odds on a short-term gamble.Frustrating as it is.1 -
